Welcome to the Stable Diffusion community, dedicated to the exploration and discussion of the open source deep learning model known as Stable Diffusion.
Introduced in 2022, Stable Diffusion uses a latent diffusion model to generate detailed images based on text descriptions and can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by text prompts. The model was developed by the startup Stability AI, in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations, marking a significant shift from previous proprietary models that were accessible only via cloud services.
Wait what? What did Emad do now?
Ah wait, I see the nonpaywalled link.
Well damn, I liked Emad in some ways, and he was a bit of a nut in others. I wonder what will become of Stability? I enjoyed that Stable Diffusion was available for everyone to freely use, unlike OpenAI's models. I hope it stays that way, but I have my doubts, seeing as how it sounds theyre desperate to monetize.
